Manta Resort: Amazing Underwater Hotel in East Africa

Genberg Underwater Hotels, a Swedish company, has unveiled their latest underwater accommodation at their Manta Resort on Pemba Island, off the coast of East Africa.

Separated from the mainland of Tanzania and Zanzibar for decades, the Island is virtually untouched by development. And there’s an underwater room you can book for a mere $750 a night (per person, based on double occupancy). You can sunbathe on what is effectively the roof deck – or stargaze. And there is also a deck at water level. But 4 meters (13+ feet) below the ocean surface is where you’ll tuck in. Can you imagine sleeping down there with the fish? What an incredible way to have an undersea experience. I’d like to be…under the sea… in an Octopus’s Garden keeps playing in our heads! The Manta Resort, home of the underwater room, also has on-land rooms and a wide variety of luxury amenities. So when you awake in the morning, you can come ashore for champagne brunch.
